An approximated 20,000 people were brutally amputated by machetes and guns during Sierra Leone’s civil war. These war victims are also marginalized from the mainstream of the information Society. The project ‘Digital Hope’ targets these amputees facing exclusion from ICT and by providing the relevant ICT tools through an ICT piloted multi-media community access centre at one of several amputee camps in the country. This is providing the war victims ICT skills, hope and healing and giving them a powerful voice in the mass media. The beneficiaries are learning basic ICT skills, and creating a great access to learning for learners with disability, and the much needed space to share their war-time stories with the rest of the world. One of the poorest in the world, Sierra Leone hugely depends on international aid for survival, and meaning help for war victims has become one of the serious challenges in the country. Founder Mr. Greene said disability issues is very crucial and innovative technology can help these victims move pass their physical and psycho-social huddles. Amputees and disabled people in the country”. He said that “for us Sierra Leoneans, we need to help our fellow compatriots who as a result of a decade of brutal civil war and carnage that has left behind thousands of maimed children, women and men, we must not make this disability of amputee a distant notion anymore but to think it as a reality close to our hearts and work hard to help them, or else the reality of suffering will “. Greene goes on to say “I believe that these technologies will help to inform, educate and change the lives of people from these established amputee camps.” http://digitalhopesierraleone.blogspot.com/
